After all, it was her birthday too, but no one in her class even said “happy birthday” to her. They were all busy planning the surprise party for their teacher Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith was great. He knew everyone’s birthday and made cards for everyone. He always tried his best to help all the students with their studies. Emma knew Mr. Smith should get a surprise party. But she just wished that someone could remember it was her birthday too! Emma had a quick look at the large card that the class made. It was as long as the blackboard. The class made a card just like Mr. Smith did for them. “Emma, will you turn off the lights, please?” Sally said. “I’ll call Mr. Smith.” As soon as Sally finished doing it, Emma looked around the classroom slowly with a sigh (叹气). The door opened and everyone shouted, “Surprise!” “A surprise party for me?” Mr. Smith asked. He walked over to the large card and said, “This is the most beautiful card in the world. ” Then he turned to Emma and gave her a card. “Happy birthday, Emma. I’m excited that we share the same party.” “Me, too,” Emma said, smiling at Mr. Smith. “Happy birthday, Emma!” her classmates cheered. 艾玛有点不开心。毕竟，那天也是她的生日，可是班上没有一个人对她说“生日快乐”。他们都在忙着为他们的史密斯老师策划惊喜派对。 史密斯老师很棒。他知道每个人的生日，并为每个人制作卡片。他总是尽力帮助所有的学生学习。艾玛知道史密斯老师应该得到一个惊喜派对。但她只是希望有人能记得那天也是她的生日！ 艾玛快速地看了看班上制作的大卡片。它和黑板一样长。班上制作了一张和史密斯老师给他们的一样的卡片。 “艾玛，请你关灯好吗？”萨莉说。“我会叫史密斯老师。”萨莉一做完，艾玛就慢慢地环顾了教室，叹了口气。 门开了，大家喊道：“惊喜！”“给我的惊喜派对吗？”史密斯老师问。他走到大卡片前说：“这是世界上最漂亮的卡片。”然后他转向艾玛，给了她一张卡片。“生日快乐，艾玛。我很高兴我们共享同一个派对。” “我也是，”艾玛对史密斯老师微笑着说。“生日快乐，艾玛！”同学们欢呼起来。 How did Chinese people celebrate birthdays in the past? 过去中国人如何庆祝生日 In the past, when a baby is one year old, parents will always have a special ceremony (仪式) — Zhuazhou, or drawing lots. They put many different things in front of the baby for it to choose (选择) from. If the baby chooses a pen, the parents think it may become a writer. If the baby chooses a toy gun (玩具枪), the parents think it may become a soldier. Parents don’t know what will happen in the end, but the ceremony shows good wishes for their babies. 在过去，当一个婴儿满一岁时，父母总会举行一个特别的仪式——抓周，或者叫做抽签。他们会在婴儿面前放许多不同的东西供其选择。如果婴儿选择了一支笔，父母会认为它将来可能成为一名作家。如果婴儿选择了一把玩具枪，父母会认为它将来可能成为一名士兵。父母不知道最终会发生什么，但这个仪式表达了他们对孩子的美好祝愿。 When boys were 20 and girls were 15, they would bond their hair (束发) with a high cap (冠) or a hairpin (发簪) in a special ceremony. And this would tell the world: “I am not a child any more. I am an adult!” Now the legal (合法的) age of adulthood (成年期) in China is 18, for both boys and girls. 当男孩20岁，女孩15岁时，他们会在特别的仪式上用高帽子或发簪将头发束起来。这是向世界宣告：“我不再是一个孩子了。我已经成年了！”现在，中国男孩和女孩的法定成年年龄都是18岁。 Traditionally, a man is not supposed to hold a big birthday banquet until he is sixty.This is because that in the old times, many people didn't live such long lives. A man of such an old age deserved as many wishes as possible. At the banquet,he would enjoy longevity noodles,longevity peaches and other delicious food.In a word,Chinese people have their unique ways to celebrate.No matter what happens, we’ll keep these traditions in mind. 传统上，一个人在60岁之前不应该举行大型生日宴会。这是因为在过去，许多人活不到那么长的寿命。如此高龄的人值得获得尽可能多的祝福。在宴会上，他会享受到长寿面、长寿桃和其他美味的食物。总之，中国人有自己独特的庆祝方式。无论发生什么，我们都会将这些传统铭记在心。 Do you remember how you celebrated your first birthday? And how will you celebrate your 18th birthday? 你还记得你是如何庆祝你的第一个生日的吗？你又将如何庆祝你的18岁生日呢？ What kinds of festivals are celebrated all over the world? ----世界各地庆祝哪些节日？ 中国成语小故事01：Swallow a Date Whole囫囵吞枣There are all kinds of festivals all over the world. Some of them are about people, while some are about seasons. Some festivals are to remember the people who have passed away. For example, on the Qingming Festival, or Tomb Sweeping Day, ancestors (祖宗) and national heroes in the past would be greatly missed in China. Some festivals are to remember famous people. The Dragon Boat Festival honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. In the USA, Columbus Day honours the coming of Christopher Columbus in the New World. Some festivals are about seasons. In autumn, harvest festivals can be very happy days because people get enough food for the cold winter. In China, people celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in September or October. People get together with family members, watch the full moon and enjoy mooncakes. In spring, festivals are often colourful to celebrate the lively season, such as Holi Festival in India and Cherry Blossom Festival in Japan. In most of the festivals, people get together to eat, drink and have fun. Festivals give us time to enjoy life and relax ourselves. That may be the meaning of them. 世界各地有各种各样的节日。有些节日是关于人们的，有些则是关于季节的。 有些节日是为了纪念已故的人。例如，在中国的清明节或扫墓节，人们会深切怀念祖先和过去的民族英雄。有些节日是为了纪念著名人物，如端午节是为了纪念著名古代诗人屈原，而美国的哥伦布日则是为了纪念克里斯托弗·哥伦布来到新世界。 有些节日是关于季节的。在秋天，收获节是快乐的日子，因为人们为寒冷的冬天准备了足够的食物。在中国，人们在九月或十月庆祝中秋节。人们与家人团聚，观赏满月，享受月饼。在春天，节日通常是五彩缤纷的，以庆祝这个充满活力的季节，如印度的胡里节和日本的樱花节。 在大多数节日里，人们聚在一起吃喝玩乐。节日给了我们享受生活和放松自己的时间。这可能就是节日的意义所在。  Long ago, there was a young man who bought many fruits, like pears and dates. He sat at the roadside to eat them.  从前，有个人买了一堆水果，有梨，也有枣，坐在路边上吃。 An old man saw him and said: “Eating too many pears is good for teeth, but bad for your body.” The man asked: “How about dates?” The old man answered: “The dates are good for body but bad for teeth.”    有个老头儿看见了，对他说：“小伙子，梨可不能多吃呀。它虽然对牙齿有好处，可是吃多了对身体不好。” 青年人就问：“枣吃多了呢？” 老头儿说：“枣儿对身体是好的，可吃多了对牙齿不好，也不能多吃。” The young man thought for a while and said: “I've got a good idea! I can eat pears with teeth and don't swallow them. And I can swallow dates without chewing.”    青年人看了看梨，又看了看枣，想了一会儿，说：“我想出了个好办法！我吃梨就只用牙齿嚼，不吞到肚子里去。吃枣儿，我就把它整个儿吞下去，不用牙齿嚼。” Then he put a date into his mouth and swallowed it immediately. Unluckily, he was choked by the date.    说完话，他就拿起一个枣儿放在嘴里，直接吞了下去。没想到，他一下子就被枣儿噎住了。 单词： swallowed [ˈswɒləʊd] v. 吞下; 咽下 immediately [ɪˈmi:diətli] adv. 立即; 马上 choked [tʃəʊkt] v. (使)窒息，哽噎 短语： choke on sth：被……噎住 This is the idiom story of Swallow a Date Whole. 这就是“囫囵吞枣”的成语故事。 People use it to describe those who mechanically take in what they study without understanding and analyzing. 人们用它来比喻那些机械学习，笼统接受知识，而不加理解和分析的人。 中国成语小故事02：Better Late Than Never 亡羊补牢 Once upon a time,there was a man who kept many sheep.从前，有一个人看管许多羊。 One morning, he found that one of his sheep was missing from the pen. Where has it gone? He was puzzled. 一天早上，他发现羊圈里少了一只羊。它跑哪去了？他很困惑。 After checking the pen carefully, he found a hole in the wall of the pen. A wolf had broken into the pen and eaten the sheep. 仔细检查羊圈后，他在羊圈的墙上发现了一个洞。一只狼从洞里钻进了羊圈，叼走了一只羊。       He walked away sadly and went to tell his neighbor. Well, he said, the wolf has taken one of my sheep. The man's neighbor said, you had better fix the hole quickly. The man said, the sheep has already been taken. What is the use of fixing the hole? 他伤心地走开了，并把这件事告诉了他的邻居。他说，那只狼叼走了一只羊。邻居说，你最好赶快把洞修好。他说，羊已经被狼叼走了，修洞有什么用呢？ Then the next morning, when he went to checking his sheep, he found that another sheep was missing. The wolf had come back and eaten a sheep again. 第二天早上，当他去检查羊群时，他发现又少了一只羊。那只狼又回来了，又叼走了一只羊。 Now the man understood that his neighbor was right. Immediately, he fixed the hole. 这下子，他明白了，邻居是对的。他马上把洞修好了。 From then on, no more sheep were taken by the wolf. 从那以后，狼再也没叼走过羊。 单词： pen [pen] 围栏，用于关动物的栅栏 puzzled ['pʌzld] 困惑的 Immediately [ɪ'mi:diətli] 立即，马上 短语： from then on 从那时起 no more 不再 The story tells us that taking remedial measures in time after problems occur can prevent further losses. 亡羊补牢的故事告诉我们，在出现问题后及时采取补救措施，可以防止进一步受损失。 练一练:小试牛刀 (一) Today is Saturday.
